Pick

The Pirates are coming off of a great series sweep in Boston, where they out scored Boston by a total of 13-8. Chicago lost two out of three games against the Giants and allowed a lot of runs in the series. The White Sox will turn to Lucas Giolito, who pitched fine in his season debut. The Pirates will have Rich Hill on the mound, who allowed three runs over five innings in his first start. I think the White Sox have a sizable advantage in this pitching matchup and I like them to get the win.
